Group surveys
Enniburr for
power project
By Carol Sword
Contributing Writer
From the mountains of Ecuador to
the jungles of Africa, volunteers from
Tech Serve International have assisted
with humanitarian projects to install
power, communications and water distribution systems in underdeveloped
areas.
Last week, three members added
Enniburr, better known as Third Island, to their list of places surveyed.
Roi resident George Talbot, who had
participated in projects with Tech Serve
in Peru and Africa, sponsored the visit.
He asked them to study the feasibility
of providing power distribution from
the Roi power plant to Third Island.

The College of the Marshall Islands
Board of Regents is committed to rebuilding the Gugeegue campus.
That’s the message the board brought
last week during a series of meetings
with the public and students on Ebeye.
The other reason for the visit was “to
talk to the students and to talk to the
community and hear what people were
saying,” said Dr. John Tuthill, CMI
interim president.
The CMI Gugeegue campus is closing at the end of this semester, with
classes scheduled to resume in fall
2003. The CMI Board of Regents decided in April to close the school because it did not meet current U.S.
accreditation standards, as reported in
the Hourglass April 19. During the
hiatus the campus will upgrade facilities, hire new faculty and write an
institutional policy manual, Tuthill said.
Tuthill said he hopes to have the
“official Western Association of Schools
and Colleges Accrediting Commission
for Community and Junior Colleges
stamp of approval on this campus” by
next spring.
“I think you will begin to see construction on the Gugeegue campus as
early as June,” Tuthill said. “There is
going to be a major building project
funded by the Asian Development Bank.
“They are building four classrooms
and two additional faculty apartments,”
he added. “Before that, [CMI will fund]
the renovation of what is now the maintenance shed … turn[ing] it into classrooms, offices, computer lab and science lab.”
Although there are rumors that the
campus would not open again, Tuthill
said they were not brought up at the
town hall meeting held Thursday at
Iroij Michael Kabua’s home.

University of Maryland professor David Garrison has made a
life of studying the influence of
foreign powers on Asia, particularly Pacific Islands, and he
shared his thoughts over a
lunchtime lecture Saturday.
“The different influences [are]
British, French, German, Japan
and the islanders themselves. It’s
interesting how the local populations take from certain influences but reject others. In more

Coffee Shop a success
On behalf of the National Honor Society
and National Junior Honor Society, we
would like to extend our profound thanks
for your overwhelming support of this
year’s notably successful Coffee Shop
and Art Show.
As some of you know, this event raises
funds for our organization to use [primarily] in our annual Christmas on Ebeye
and for other service-related efforts. Because of your generosity, we more than
doubled our sales from last year’s Coffee
Shop, which allows us to serve our community in an even greater capacity. For
that we are truly grateful.
Also, we would like to thank those of
you who sacrificed your furniture, coffee
makers and blenders. We trust everything was returned safely and in due
speed. Your magnanimity will not be
forgotten.
We consider Coffee Shop a work in
progress and have already begun redesigning it to help ensure that next year’s
Coffee Shop will be a unique and bountiful
experience for us all.
It has been a pleasure and a blessing to
watch this community come together and
enjoy a simple evening of coffee, desserts, books and song.
Thank you!

Everything’s in a galaxy far, far away
Once again intrepid filmophile and
AFN golden boy Vince Molica is traveling across the globe for entertainment.
Vince first made headlines when he
took a trip to Majuro to see the movie
“Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” He
followed that with a quick jaunt to
Pohnpei to watch “Lord of the Rings.”
Now the movie buff is headed all the
way to Michigan to view the new Star
Wars movie with his best friend. Like
AFN DJ Rich Feagler, we just hope that
George Lucas and 20th Century Pictures take notice so that Vince can at
least get a free movie ticket, if not a free
airline ticket for his devotion.
May the force be with you, Vince.
But certainly he’s not alone in his
obsession.
I remember as a kid lining up around
the block at the movie theater, waiting
for hours, when the “Empire Strikes
Back” hit the big screen. Ditto on “Return of the Jedi.” On a trip to Majuro for
New Year’s Eve, we got a special bonus when we found out the Harry Potter
movie was playing that weekend. We
even skipped a trip to a beach concert,
opting to sit glassy-eyed at the screen,
our feet stuck to the floor.
Of course this ephemeral quest for a
two- or three-hour entertainment high is
not just limited to the movies. The
phenomenon of the Dead Heads, devo-
Buckminster and Friends
tees of the Grateful Dead band, is well
documented. These aging hipsters and
hippies, piled into a psychedelically
painted VW van, would follow the band
from concert to concert, coast to coast.
Today many of the fans (short for fanatics, by the way) have turned their allegiance to Wide Spread Panic and Phish.
We once battled an electrical storm
for an hour driving from college to Dallas
for a Pink Floyd concert. It looked like
the heavens had short-circuited, the
rain nearly opaque curtains of gray. But
what a great show.
And that’s what it’s all about, right? A
great show; though these days, and
maybe I’m just growing nostalgic since
I hit 30 this year, but it seems entertainment is a little too plastic and cheap.
There will never be another Woodstock,
for example, and Lucas, try as he may,
will never match the magic of his original Star Wars.
But we’ll keep searching, going to the
limits, to recapture that myth, that bliss
the greatest entertainment can create.

C.J. Johnson
Hourglass Intern
With a pump fake and a quick lay up,
Katie DeLong, 18, scores another point
for the Spartans I girls basketball team.
After a few more minutes of intense ball
play, Monique Moreno scores a couple
of three-point shots, tying up the game.
With seconds counting down, Kayla
Hardin, 16, makes an awesome freethrow, breaking the tie and ultimately
winning another game for the team.
“It was a really good game and I am
glad we won,” said Moreno, 16.
Shannon MacDonald, 15, point guard
for the Spartan I girls team, said, “That
was the most fun game we played. The
crowd motivated my whole team. We
work really hard as a team.”
Soon after the girls’ game, the Spartan I boys team also scored a win. Both
the Spartan boys and girls teams are
blazing it up on the basketball courts,
with help from their coaches Tom Sieja,
James Wheeler and Scott MacDonald.
MacDonald has coached both teams
for four years now, and his daughter
Shannon plays for Spartan I girls and
his son Shaun, 16, plays for Spartan I
boys.
“I think both teams made strides and
have improved quite a bit,” MacDonald
said.
Anthony Desmarais, 18, who plays
center, has gone to a basketball camp
two years in a row at Syracuse to polish
his skills on the court.
“I average about four points a game
and five rebounds per game. Basketball is really fun and I want to continue
to play it at West Point. It’s my favorite
thing to do,” he said.
DeLong is the captain and shooting
forward on the girls team. She averages about ten to fifteen points a game.
All of the kids believe in working as a
team, she said.
“It’s not an individual sport, it’s a
team sport, and it’s a team thing. The
whole team works hard together,”
DeLong said.
Most of the Kwaj kids that play basketball started at an early age.
Desmarais started playing basketball
in eighth grade and DeLong started
playing in the sixth grade.
“I guess I started getting taller and
taller and I thought I would be a good
player, and I watched a lot of NBA
basketball,” Desmarais said.
“I had really fun coaches; they were
high school kids, and I also did it to get
involved and meet people. It was fun
and I enjoyed it,” DeLong said.
The Spartans are having a great time
playing basketball this season, and both
the girls and boys team have been
supporting each other on and off the
court.
“This season has been very good because what I’ve done is mix practices,
where I make the boys and girls practice once or twice a week together,”
MacDonald explained.
Practices are varied for both teams,
as they try to coincide with the busy
schedule of the coaches.
Said McDonald, “It’s been hectic and
it’s been very busy.”
And it’s not over yet. Both teams will
continue to work together in the hopes
of winning the rest of their games.

Range operation
set for Wednesday
From the Command Safety Office
A range operation is scheduled
for Wednesday, May 15. Caution
times are 7:01 p.m. through 4:01
a.m. Thursday, May 16.
In conjunction with this operation, a caution area will exist within
Kwajalein Atoll, defined by the area
bounded on the north by Boked
Island on the east reef and
Yabbernohr Island on the west reef,
and bounded on the south by a line
drawn north of Bigej Island on the
east reef to a point at latitude 08
54.2N, longitude 167 45.8E, then
to a point at latitude 08 52.8N,
longitude 167 45.8E, and then to a
point north of the high tide mark
on Ninni Island on the west reef.
Bigej Island, including the inner
reef, is specifically excluded and is
not a part of the mid-atoll corridor. Illeginni is designated as an
evacuation island. All other midatoll corridor islands are designated as sheltered islands. Additional areas specified outside the
mid-atoll are designated as caution areas. (See maps in Friday’s
Hourglass.)
In order to ensure clearance of
non-mission support personnel
from the mid-atoll corridor by the
window opening time, Kwajalein
Police Department island clearance
procedures will continue until
evacuation has been accomplished.
Egress of all air and sea craft will
be required when requested by authorized clearance personnel. Subsequent to lagoon clearance, the
hazard area will be in effect until
mission completion.
In the event of a mission slip, the
caution times and areas will be in
effect for the following days:
•7:01 p.m. Thursday, May 16,
through 4:01 a.m. Friday, May 17
•7:01 p.m. Friday, May 17,
through 4:01 a.m. Saturday, May
18
Questions regarding the above
safety requirements for this mission should be directed to the Command Safety Office, range safety
officer, 52477.

Project to bring Enniburr into next century ...
(From page 1)
mine the feasibility of participating in
the project.
“After seeing the numerous small
generators around the island, it was
easy to see the need for a power distribution system,” said Kerry Grasser, a
retired civil engineer with the group.
As the team gathered data for its
proposal, the trio were approached by
many of the residents who were enthusiastic about the possibility of a distribution feed directly to the island.
“We found the people to be very
friendly, and we hope this project will
better their way of life,” said Craig
Gilbert, a journeyman power lineman
with Tech Serve. He is one of many
skilled volunteers who donate their
time to the organization, which provides technical assistance and equipment to missions and ministries.
“The philosophy of the ministry is
reflected in Proverbs 3:27,” Garber
explained. “It says, ‘Don’t withhold good
from those who deserve it when it is in
your power to act.’”
While doing the survey, the group
recognized a need to establish a master
plan for the island that would include
the proper placement of all utilities,
including both power and communications. A recent aerial photograph of the
island was required, and Col. Curtis L.
Wrenn Jr., USAKA commander, assured the group that a photograph could
be provided. He was encouraged by
their interest, and he offered them the
use of a backhoe for construction purposes.
“We knew we had the capacity to
excess power from the new plant and
sell it to Third Island,” Wrenn said.
“The plant has nine generator sets,
and only six are normally used.”
Wrenn noted the concern on the part
of RMI Sen. Sato Maie to deliver basic
services to Enniburr. Tech Serve’s volunteers could lower overhead costs
and bring the required expertise to the
project.
Wrenn added, “They’re looking at
this project from a holistic standpoint,
which includes power, communications, water and sanitation. Their proposal could garner funds from a block
grant.”
Explained Garber, “While installing
power, there’s definitely a possibility of
establishing communications with the
island by connecting it through a mi-
crowave link or fiberoptic cable.” He
indicated that microwave link would
be the preferred method for phone
service due to the expense of cable and
maintenance costs. A dish could be
installed on a tower at the Roi airport,
and another one could be installed on a
tower that would be built on Third
Island. The airport was chosen as the
location on Roi due to the concern for
RF hazards.
Joe Woods and his staff at the Roi
power plant helped the group by locating the tie line that connected the old
power plant with the new during the
switchover last year. This line could
provide the connection point to Third
Island for the feed from Roi.
“The tie line was a temporary line to
connect the two power plants during
the switchover,” Woods said. “It was
left behind in case additional feeders
might be needed on Roi. Now its use is
being strongly considered for Enniburr.”
During a meeting of the Roi-Namur
Dolphins Scuba Club, the Tech Serve
volunteers sought the assistance of
club members in charting an underwater travel route from Roi to Enniburr
for laying cable on sand rather than
coral outcroppings. Cliff McCoy, an electrician at the power plant and a future
member of the dive club, offered his
support. He once served as a merchant
mariner on the ship Global Sentinel.
“I never thought my experience and
skills in laying fiberoptic cable in both
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would
be used for ... establishing a power
distribution to benefit others,” McCoy
said.
In the proposal, all cable would be
laid underground on Third Island because overhead lines are subject to the
natural elements. Transformers would
be made from stainless steel to resist
corrosion. The master plan would include about twice the consumers who
now reside on Third Island. Once the
plan is approved by the island owners
and residents, it would be presented to
Maie, who would seek funding from
the RMI government.
“We’re anxious to move this project
forward, because with the establishment of power and communications,
we can connect to the Internet and
bring our island into the 21st century,”
said Johnsay Kobeney, councilman for
Enniburr.

Garrison worked in the foreign
service in Africa and the Pacific
Islands before joining the University
of Maryland University College in
1974. Holding master’s degrees in
both international relations and
international diplomacy, he has
studied and, through his work, seen
first-hand the development of the
Pacific Basin for more than 30 years.
The influences, he said, vary from
island to island, based on the particular European state holding claim
over the piece of land. Where the
British might employ numerous
locals in the police force, the French
would import many “gendarmes,” for
example.
The United States, however,

he said.
“We were not really a colonial
power,” he said. We didn’t really
know how to do it … A lot of our
policy [since World War II] has been
denial. It’s not that we want to be
here. We just don’t want anyone else
here.”
The professor said this thinking
stems from World War II, when the
country fought to clear the Japanese
from the islands in the Pacific.
Besides maintaining influence

Territories and, subsequent compacts, the U.S. supports French,
New Zealander and Australian
efforts to maintain islander independence and keep out other influences
that may threaten U.S. security.
With declining natural resources
on those islands, however, the cost of
supporting the islands has increased,
Garrison said, citing East Timor as
an example. There the Australians
worked recently to stop internal
violence in the nation, but with few
natural resources, the island population remains dependent on Australia,
he said.
Said Garrison, “Very few islands
have natural resources that are still
viable.”
